The only identifying detail here is the title "Sewell," which the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or its caption card, and the cataloguers note that it has not been verified. The record gives no date, so the picture's subject and occasion remain uncertain. What it does establish is its origin. George Grantham Bain ran a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers from about 1900 into the 1920s, and its glass negatives are a major record of American people and events from those years.
